context_section_description: Lately study associations have overtaken part of the role that student associations like Carolus, The Navigators, and Ovum Novum used to play, These study associations are related to individual degree programs and are open to international students as well. Study associations don’t have initiation rituals and regularly meet for fun-related, as well as study-related activities. Some examples of study associations are the history study association Excallibur, psychology student association SPIN and the Business Administration student association Synergy.
